We are a small animal hospital in Gorleston and a small animal practice in Lowestoft, first established in 1984. We are passionate about animal care and our skilled team of veterinarians and vet nurses are dedicated to providing the highest quality care for your animals. Because we love animals and strive to provide excellent continuity of care, we are open six days a week and provide our own 24-hour emergency care at our Gorleston Hospital.

Pet passports – Brexit update

9th April 2019

If you are planning to travel to the EU post Brexit with your pet, it is important you contact us as soon as possible for an update of any potential new requirements.

If the UK leaves the EU without a deal then it is likely that EU pet passports issued by a UK Official Veterinarian will no longer be valid. An Animal Health Certificate will need to be issued instead, this would be valid for:

A single trip

10 days after the date of issue for entry into the EU

4 months of onward travel within the EU after the date of entry to the EU

Re-entry to the UK for 4 months after the date of issue.

The final arrangements have still to be confirmed depending on any negotiations but your veterinary surgery will be able to advise further.
